Gravity on the moon has exactly the same characteristics and behavior as it

has on Earth and everywhere else. It causes a pair of forces between any

two objects, that are proportional to the product of the objects' masses and

inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.

Because of the moon's much smaller mass, the force between the moon and

an object on its surface is only about 16% as strong as the force between the

Earth and the same object when the object is on the Earth's surface.
